title: [A method of hemostasis in blunt splenic trauma].
abstract: Experiences with embolization of the spleen artery after blunt spleen trauma in 32 patients are reported. Haemostasis by selective application of 60% glucose solution with aminocaproic acid. The method is technically simple, requires no embolization materials, and is free of postembolization complications. It preserves the organ and its function, diminishes the need for donor blood and shortens the period of hospitalization. Intraarterial application of 60% glucose solution can be used as single method of treatment or before surgery. Contraindications are massive lesions of the spleen that require immediate surgical treatment.
